New Bike Lane

by , VP Communications

Metro Louisville installed its first modern bike lane in November
2005. It is on Jackson Street from Broadway to Main Street. This will
tie nicely with the planned bike lanes on Main and Market streets next
year. Interestingly, Jackson Street runs through the heart of Liberty
Green, an Active Louisville project site.

This has been a cooperative work involving a lot of agencies, KYTC,
Public Works, KIPDA, Bicycling for Louisville. The project was
coordinated by Todd Schartung, Regional Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator.
Todd has also produced an educational brochure on bike lanes. The
brochure can be dowloaded at
